POWER5 only in the sources checked. IBM lists the 520, 525, 550 and 570 processor enclosures and 595 system units, and notes that POWER6 processor enclosures do not take IOP cards. #5777 is the same card run without an IOP. IBM writes 'Model 520' without a machine type, so both 520 types are listed.
Before you order 5738
The drive bay and controller setup decides how many drives the server can hold and how they are protected. Changing it usually means planning downtime, so check it against your machine type first.
